In the U.S. today, the policeman's role cannot be redefined simply by enlightened police chiefs, or vague calls for law and order, or courts resolved to protect the rights of the individual.

...tone of the issue thus is more somber than usual but it is laced with flashes of the most exalted wit, tender and crafty outbursts from the blue depths of the underground sea that these people inhabit. The prose-poetic style is the one we have come to expect of all hippie writing.
